The farmer who created an 'infinity pool' in Snowdonia - now called Eryri - has died

A farmer who created a gorgeous "infinity pool" on his farm on Eryri National Park (previously known as Snowdonia) has sadly died. Wyn Mostyn Lloyd Jones passed away from cancer after inhaling asbestos whilst training at agricultural college years ago, an inquest in Caernarfon heard today.

As reported by our sister site NorthWalesLive, Mr Jones, originally from Llanrwst in Conwy, left school at 17 and enrolled at Coleg Llysfasi to train in farming, spending his free time working on the family farm at Nant Peris.

As a teenager, he was said to have unfortunately breathed in "clouds" of dust which led to his health deteriorating years later. He died in a hospice in Holyhead on October 29, 2022. At the inquest into his death on Wednesday, February 15, assistant coroner for northwest Wales, Sarah Riley, gave a narrative conclusion that the probable cause of death was mesothelioma.
